Using With The Xg Plug-In System; Using With A Computer Or Sequencer - Yamaha MU100 Owner's Manual

Using with the XG Plug-in System

The MU100 is equipped with a connector that supports the XG Plug-in Sys-
tem. The system currently (as of September 1998) consists of three easy-to-
use plug-in boards: the PLG100-DX, PLG100-VL and PLG100-VH.
A vast range of features like Virtual Acoustic Sound Synthesis, dynamic
sound effects, powerful FM synthesis voices, vocal harmonies and editing
features enhance the functionality of the MU100 without complicated set-
ups and wiring. The XG Plug-in System provides a seamless, fully inte-
grated solution to help you create the ultimate studio environment.

Using With a Computer or Sequencer

Home Studio Setup
The MU100 integrates instantly and easily into any existing setup. If you have a
MIDI keyboard, computer and sequencing software, the MU100 with its high-qual-
ity Voices and multi-timbral capabilities can expand your home studio system.
Carry It With You
If you have a laptop computer (and sequencing software), simply connect the
MU100, plug in some headphones and you've got a complete, high-powered
music making system that's ready to go wherever you go. Use it for composing,
arranging, practicing or making/playing demos for your band.
Use It at a Gig
Similarly, you can connect a laptop or a MIDI data filer and playback song data with
the MU100's Voices. Plug a microphone into one of the A/D inputs and a guitar into
the other, and you can mix your own live performance with the sequencer tracks.
Multimedia
Since it's compatible with General MIDI and XG, the MU100 is a natural for
multimedia applications. Bring it with you to a presentation — since the com-
puter interface is built-in to the MU100, it hooks up instantly and easily to the
computer's serial port or printer port, without the need for any other equipment.
